Support| More and more of us are now moving into new build homes, but have they thought about the lighting? Most of the national companies building these homes by the thousands are still using standard downlights and lighting a little out of date. With technology constantly advancing it is clear that LED lighting is now the way forward. It reduces your carbon footprint, energy bills and provides an all-around better light source. There are many styles of LED lighting available on the market today, however, we are going to highlight a few that we think are the perfect choice to light your new build home. |

| We are lucky enough to stock the completely unique Levello Downlights range here at Arc LED, and it’s certainly something we are proud of. Their design consists of a completely invisible style downlights where the housing is fixed directly into the ceiling. Users can then change the appearance, lamps or even the complete fitting without the need for an electrician. If you’ve just got a new home and are paying a hefty mortgage, every saving helps! These fantastic architectural downlights are available with IP20 and IP65 ratings meaning you can install them almost anywhere in your home. IP20 fittings are perfect for living rooms, hallways and bedrooms whereas the IP65 versions are more suited to bathrooms, or somewhere where they may come into contact with water.

Benefits of LED Lighting in New Homes |
| Buying a home is very expensive. You have new bills like mortgages, home insurance and energy bills to think about, and using LED lighting can actually help to reduce some of these. Using LED strip lighting throughout your home allows you to reduce energy consumption, therefore, your bills come down so you have a little extra money for other important things! The average 6W LED provides up to as much as 50W of standard incandescent lighting, using just over 10% of the power. Also, the annual energy consumption for an LED is around 30 times lower than a standard incandescent. No brainer! |
